With voters passingRegional Measure 3, tolls on all seven state-owned bridges will go up by $3 over six years, not including the Golden Gate.

The toll on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge is currently $6 at peak hours and $4 during non-peak. In 2019, it will increase to $7 at peak and $5 during non-peak; in 2020, it jumps to $8 and $6, and in 2025, to $9 and $7.

The Richmond-San Rafael, San Mateo, Dumbarton, Carquinez, Benicia and Antioch bridges now charge $5 to cross.

In 2019, the toll on these bridges will jump to $6; in 2022, $7 and in 2025, $8.

Toll increases will go into effect on January 1 of the respective years.

The Golden Gate Bridge is independently owned and operated and not impacted by the measure passing.

Toll discounts for carpools using FasTrak and crossing more than two bridges during specified commute hours will continue.

The increase in tolls are forecast to raise $4.45 billion over the next decade for capital projects and roughly $60 million annually to support transit operations.

"We've got tough traffic challenges that are true obstacles," Carl Guardino, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership group and a spokesman for the Yes on RM3 campaign, told the San Francisco Chronicle. "The voters saw that this measure was a good opportunity to do something about it."
